VERTICAL CHAMBER COKE OVEN Filed Oct. 14, 1926 lNl/E/VTUR GMZ ATTOR/VH Patented ocea -1 3i PATENT? orrrca cam. own, or ESSEN-BUHR, GERMANY VERTICAL a L. Ml: COKE OVEN Application filed October 14, 1926, Serial No. 141,599, and in Germany October 14, 1925.

The invention relates to cokeovens having vertical chambers in front of the narrow sides of which are arranged regenerators.

It is well known with ovens of this type to" 10 erators which are arranged on the other side of the chamber. This arrangement, however, requires four regenerator chambers with the respective four reversing devices to be provided for each heating wall. In my copending patent application Serial No. 73,6101 have already proposed in What manner at least half the number of said reg'enerator chambers and reversing devices may be dispensed with, this being obtained by causing gas and air coming from the regenerator chambers of one side to enter the heating fiues of the appurtenant walls for combustion, and to cause the products of combustion to pass through distribution channels onto one or more walls from which they enter the regenerator chambers allotted to these walls and located at the same front side of the chamber. Now my present invention has for its ob-' pect to ofier another realization of the idea of the above-mentioned invention,

- According to my invention the heating walls are divided by a partition transverse thereto into halves each containing a plu- .-ra1ity of flues and each two adjacent heat iiiig walls areconnected inpairs to a gas regeneratorand an air generator, so that two regenerator' chambers only, with the neces- 40 sary reversing devices are required for each heatingwall. Furthermore, dampers or the 'like'are arranged in the connecting channels leading to the appurtenant wall halves in front of the regenerators, in order to throw v each individual heating wall out of operation preheate when desired and to regulate the quantities of gas and air su plied to it.

In order to al ow of my invention to be more easily understood, an embodiment of the subject-matter of same is illustrated in the drawings which accompany and form part of this specification.

In these drawings:

Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of the first embodiment,

Fig. 2'shows several 'cross sections of the same, at different levels."

a denotes the vertical chambers of the oven, which have arranged between them the heating walls subdivided so as to form halves b, 69 b by partitions P, each of which extends from the bottom of a wall upwardly. Each wall half is subdivided to form a plurality of continuous vertical combustion flues extending substantially throughout the height 5 of the heating wall. Each of these halves b, b is in communication at its floor or lower end with the appurtenant gas and air regenerators. The arrangement of these regenerators is so chosen'that each pair of adjacent to heatingwalls may be supplied from a gas regenerator and an air regenerator, see Fig. 2. The regenerators denoted by 0 serve to preheat the air, whilstthe gas is preheated in the regenerators d. The gas and air preheated in the regenerators 0 and (Z, respectively, enter the heating wall halves b at the floor end thereof and burn, after having united, upward in said well half and are led to the other communicating wall halves 6 through the brid e passage e arranged above them. The wall halves 6 are connected in pairs with the appurtenant regenerators f and g, in the same-,way as the wall halves b with the regenerators c and d, see Fig. 2. With the described direction of the flow of the; heating ases the regenerators 7 and g are d b the waste heat delivered from the wall halves 6 said waste heat passing from these regenerators through conduits h an air reg'enerator alternates with a gas re-' generator and that all the regenerators of the other chamber side are set to waste heat; By reversin these throttling members the direction of how of the heating gases is reversed in a known manner and the work done by the regenerators is exchanged accordin 1y.

g are branched I,

" distributing pipes 1' passing throug the floor 11 order to uniformly regulate the draught in the individual flues of the heating wal halves 6, b dampers 0 are provided for in the usual way in the top end of said iflues. Furthermore an arrangement is made to heat the oven by strong gas. To this end pipes off from the strong gas main which lead to each sup lied vcl foal to. theindividual heating ues b of the oven and dischargmg into the wall halves at the lower ends of the flues. ,1 Instead of providing said branch pipes g,- brick channels may bemadeuse of passing over the floor of the oven and discharging in the same manner as the channels leading from the regenerators, into the wall halves-b, b.-

A second strong gas main 8 located above the oven and from which up tributing pipes t lead to an dischar 'ng into the upper bridge passage e serves or heating of the wall h'alv'es supplementarily with downwardly flowing gases. The described heating arrangements enable the oven to be operated by pure lean gas.

or strong gas heating or b a sele'ctive or common strong and lean gas eating. In this latter case the valves n are closed to such an extent, that the heating wall halves b or?) are-fed with a quantity of air considerably exceedin the fed quantity of lean'gas, this excess 0 air servmg to burn the strong gas entering the heating flues through the pi es 1' and t. In-this manner it is made possi 1e in the most perfectwa to supply, according to the quantity-of eat radiated by the walls, so much heat to the individual heatingwalls, by suitahg selecting the heating which is the best in e individual case, that all the chambers of the oven are heated uniformly and an absolutely uniform carbonizing period of all chambers is obtained thereby As it Wlll be understood without any exdescribed oven is the same as planation, the mode of operation of this last described embodiment.-
